About

Our AVAX native staking integration lets users delegate AVAX to a supported validator on Avalanche’s Primary Network (staking happens on the P-Chain).

A delegation is time-locked: you choose a start/end time (term), and funds remain committed until the end of that period. Rewards are not streamed daily — they are paid at the end of the staking term to the reward owner, net of the validator’s delegation fee.

Important: staking is not a C-Chain smart contract call. AVAX staking uses C↔P atomic transfers plus a P-Chain delegation transaction.

Pending Actions

Withdraw

After the 90 unbonding day period has passed, users will need to withdraw their unstaked balance to make it available again. You can track both this unbonding progress as well as the balance available to be withdrawn via our /stake/balances endpoint.

Stake locked

A user can also stake their locked balance to continue earning rewards.
